Cold Chicken Satay Noodles - MYOTO

I cheated. I did! I think it takes a strong to person to admit that they cheated. I made this dish in the afternoon on Wednesday, not in the evening. Who doesn't have the hussle and bussle of their daily life? I can thank my mother for my obsession with scheduling! Greg on the other hand thinks it's funny to suggest planning to take a shower three weeks in advance because he's so not a planner. It's his way of telling me I am anal with my scheduling.

So, I knew that I had to work all day and then go to Parker's basketball game from which I would not be home until after 7pm. Now don't get me wrong, I have cooked much later 7pm before, but it is nice to not have to worry about cooking, cleaning up, eating so late.

So I made these noodles. They were DELISH! They are made with whole wheat pasta, only a bit of peanut butter and then soy sauce, veggies, chicken. IT was great. I added green peppers and instead of shredding the carrots, I just cut up some baby carrots. While I love cooking, if I can cut some time out, then trust me, I do it. It's important to let the noodles dance with the sauce, chicken and veggies for about an hour in the fridge. Once that's done, they are good to eat. The chicken I used was packaged rotisere chicken that was on sale. Already cooked, already seasoned, low in calories and fat.

The noodles are good warm too. This would be a great side say without the chicken and a teryaki or sesame chicken off the grill. This meal tasted as good as those high calorie, high fat and high salt cold noodles with sesame sauce from the chinese restaurants which is why I called it MYOTO (as Rachael says - Make your Own Take Out.)

We have 7 Layer Slider Burgers on the menu next...

Bon Apetit! Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Shells

Who doesn't like Italian Food? Looks pretty good huh? And all homemade! This was our vegetarian night. This was really easy and quick. Not to mention not a lot of pots. Take a box of stuffed shells and add about 4 per person to boiling water. Add garlic, EVOO and a box of defrosted chopped spinach to a pan. Put ricotta cheese, rough chopped artichoke hearts, 1 egg yolk and S&P in a bowl. Once spinach mixture is warm, add to ricotta. Add parm cheese and some basil. Toss Quickly! To a casserole dish add a can of whole tomatoes, basil, S&P and butter. Mash tomatoes. When shells are done, spoon the ricotta mixture into the shells and lay into the casserole dish. Sprinkle with parm cheese and cover with foil. Bake at 375 for 20 mins. Then remove the foil and continue baking for 15 mins. Don't worry if you put it in too long. It really can't over cook. You want to make sure the shells are hot. Remember there is a raw egg in the ricotta. When finish...

The Introduction

So, have you ever thought that you were destined to do something and from the time you were little you knew it? Think of some famous singers and actors like Mariah Carey and Dakota Fanning (despite only being a teen now)...don't you think that by singing, dancing and/or acting at such a young age made it inevitable that they would become famous? I think that most people in the world fall into their destiny. With the normal facets of life, people gravitate towards what is comfortable via consistency around them, family, friends, etc. When I was barely old enough to talk, my mom decided it was time for me to learn how to go around the room and address everyone by name. Well to the normal 1 year old that would be mom, dad, Lindsay, etc. I went around the room and said "Ma-Ma, Da-Da," and pointed to myself and said, "Ra-Ra." Being that my name is Lindsay I am sure my parents wondered (and we are all still wondering) where I came up with and why I called myself ...

Chicken and Steak Caprese served with a Grilled Veggie Salad and Grilled Creamed Corn

Two posts in 1 day after nothing for months...I know, I tend to shock myself as well. Dinner last night was terrific. Hell's Kitchen is one of my favorite shows on T.V. right now, so I told Greg to act like Gordon Ramsey and give me constructive criticism. I honestly think that everyone can benefit from constructive criticism regardless of what they are doing. Because I am not a steak person, I made a Chicken Version and a Steak Version of the traditional Caprese Salad that you may see in Italian restaurants. Typically tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and basil drizzled with Balsamic Vinegar and some S&P to taste. For the Chicken: I used very thin chicken breasts. Really you could use any type of chicken. A full size breast could be used and pounded out to make it thinner or just butterflied or even chicken breast tenders and lay them out together almost connecting them. I laid the chicken on the board and dusted with S&P. I then cut up some tomatoes - any kind are fine - basi...
